I also think attempting to use libpcre3 would be a good idea for reasons mentioned prevously. What would be even better is to get the upstream maintainer to also do it that way. Have you asked upstream why they ship their package this way? It may be done of a good reason, but going on past packages I have seen this done its at least equally likely that they do it out of ignorance. - Craig -- Craig Small GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.enc.com.au/ MIEE Debian developer csmall at : enc.com.au ieee.org debian.org
